Barcelona striker from the Netherlands, Memphis Depay has recently been widely rumored to be sold by club management next season.
Maybe this situation makes Memphis Depay sad. However, it seems that sadness will not last long.
The reason is, one of the Premier League giants, Arsenal intends to accommodate Memphis Depay.
Quoted by Pedia content from the Football Espana page which was launched on Thursday (19/5/2022), Arsenal wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to recruit Depay from Barcelona’s hands.
Because the Spanish giants are seeking funds at the expense of Depay.
As is known, Xavi Hernandez is again trying to rebuild Barcelona’s new squad for next season. That’s why the Blaugrana will sacrifice some of their players.
Previously, Frenkie de Jong had been linked with a move to Manchester United as a must. De Jong is expected to be sacrificed as a player to be sold for next season.
After De Jong, the next victim to meet the economic needs of the Catalan club is Memphis Depay.
The Dutch striker had a varied first season at Barcelona.
Depay was undoubtedly a key part in the early stages of his first season for Barcelona. With a total of 13 goals in all competitions, he is still the club’s second top scorer.
However, Depay has seen a decline in his form in the second half of the season. He had been hampered by injury, and never managed to seal a starting role under Xavi. He had started just two La Liga games under Xavi before May.
Therefore, with financial factors and declining appearances, Depay will reportedly be sold soon. Allegedly, Arsenal can take advantage of this. The reason, the Gunners are looking for a new striker.
Arsenal have lost their prolific striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and may also lose Alexandre Lacazette this summer. Lacazette is out of contract in June.
Even so, it is not an easy matter for Arsenal to get Depay.
Memphis Depay still has one year left on his contract at Barcelona.
Depay actually has the option to extend it for another year.
Apart from Arsenal, it is reported that Everton and Newcastle are also keeping an eye on the situation to get Depay.
Worth waiting for, where Memphis Depay will anchor next season.
